Report - Gaynes Park Mansion - Epping - 15/12/2007

Guest

Today me and Stevec047 headed off on a roadtrip of Essex with places i had researched, Gaynes Mansion was the final visit of the day and the best by far. We walked through a wooded area to see a looming gothic mansion.

The only information i can find on the place is it was built in the 19th century and is owned by Albany UK who are (I believe) awaiting planning permission to turn this stunning place into flats and stripping it of all its little charms.

Access was almost impossible, we nearly gave up, with a bit of perseverance and after taking photos of the exterior, with resident amusing gargoyles we were in! For one second we crapped ourselves, the lights were on all over the place, but it was all boarded up - weird.

Can anyone shed any light on the strange signs that are dotted about - I am thinking hebrew, but not sure. The library was beautiful, the staircase amazing and WOW!!!
